With the Supreme Court finally reaching a decision on Brown vs. the EMA we chatted up a local legal expert to get this opinion on what these means for the video game industry.
Could you introduce yourself and your legal background?
My name is Paul McGreal. I'm the dean and a professor of law at the University of Dayton Law School and I've taught constitutional law and first amendment rights for the last 15 years.
To help frame your viewpoint, do you have any kids and do they play video games?
Yes I do, I have a 12 year old son and we actually play video games together.
Do you monitor what he plays and are you familiar with the ESRB standards?
Yes. As a parent I look at the ratings and I also read about it online before we make a purchase. I consider myself to be an involved parent from that perspective.
The decision from the Supreme Court came down on Monday in favor of the gaming industry. Was that the decision you thought they would reach or were you taken aback by it?
It's consistent with what I thought they were going to do because the law was too broad. One of the things Justice Scalia pointed out in his opinion was that the same argument the government was using to ban or to punish the sale of violent video games to minors, could equally extend to cartoons, he cited Bugs Bunny, as well as to video games that are rated E for Everybody like Sonic the Hedgehog. So this law was way too broad.
The thing I think was striking was that Justice Scalia seemed to slam the door shut pretty conclusively on any type of law like this for the near future, saying that there was no evidence to uphold the government's interest in protecting minors from these video games. There's a lot of work for governments to do in terms of doing studies and looking for a link between playing violent video games and actual violence in the real world by minors. He said there was no proof of that, and there's a lot the government is going to have to do if it's going to try and find proof of that.
So would you agree that this decision officially gives video games the same first amendment rights as movies, television, and music?
Unquestionably, there were several attempts to distinguish video games. There was an attempt to say they were target to minors and Justice Scalia rejected that. He said there was no history or tradition of protecting minors from depictions of violence. Every now and then that sort of argument rears its head, whether it was comic books, movies, or television but he first amendment doesn't make a distinction.
He also said that there was an argument that because video games are interactive and require participation that they should get a different level of protection under the first amendment and he said no, that's not true because any kind of literature tries to draw in the reader and invest them. So any video game cannot be distinguished on that basis. So yes they have the same first amendment protection.
Leland Yee is already looking at different legislation that will be worded differently. Do you think he has any chance of getting that law passed or not?
I don't see how Justice Scalia's opinion leaves room for that type of law. The only way I could see that type of law would be successful is if they went back and found additional evidence that Scalia didn't say existed that showed a concrete connection between playing these games and the commission of violent acts by children in the real world.
The only other government interest that they put forward was helping parents protect their children. One of the things I think he said was that the video game industry had done quite well was its rating system that really helped parents, so even the helping parents' rationale isn't going to work. Given this opinion, I don't see how government can revive this law in the future just by re-wording it.
So this is the end of legislation that would ever restrict the sale of video games?
Yes. If someone really wanted to go ahead and enact a law like this in the future they would need to go back to the drawing board and find the evidence. That seemed to be the one glaring flaw is that the government didn't have any evidence to show that the problem existed.
We'd like to thank Mr. McGreal for taking time to answer our questions as well as Shawn for coordinating the interview.

Instructional Objective The learner with be able to match the state's name to its picture and its picture to its name.
Learners/Context This game is designed to be used in 4th or 5th grade classrooms following geography lessons on the United States. It would be used in small groups as a form of practice.
Rationale This content can be very boring to learn in a rote manner. The game forces the students to connect the name of a state with its picture in order to score points. This process will help reinforce the learning that had all ready taken place as well as give the students another reason to learn the material.
Rules The object of the game is to make as many matches as you can.
Basic Rules 1. Shuffle the cards well. Have one person deal out all the cards.
2. The player on the dealer's right puts one card down in the center of the table. It may be a picture card or a name card.
3. Continuing to the right, the next player tries to match the card. If a picture card was put down, they match it with the name card for that state. If the player doesn't have a matching name card, the turn continues around the group to the right until a match is made. The player that makes the match takes both cards and sets them in his/her match pile.
4. The player that made the match now places a card from her/his hand in the center of the table to begin the next round.
5. Once all the cards have been played, each player counts up the number of matches they have in their pile. All of the scores are recorded on the tally sheet (running scores). If the players wish, play may continue by re-shuffling the cards and dealing them out again.
More Advanced Rules Once the players are familiar with all of the states in the deck, you can pick up the pace of the game by changing the rules a little.
Variation # 1 Rather than going around the circle one by one to find a match, any player in the group that has a matching card may place it down. The first player to make the match takes the cards (somewhat like UNO).
Variation # 2 Adjacent states may be placed down to make a match. For example, if the picture card for California is in the center of the table, players may use name cards for Oregon, Nevada or Arizona to make a match. To avoid incorrect associations (a picture of California associated with the wrong name), when playing an adjacent state card the player must yell "Neighbor." If the player fails to yell "Neighbor", that match does not count.
Settling Disputes As with any game, disputes are bound to occur. If no players knows the name of a state or in the event of a dispute about the name of a state, the students are encouraged to consult an atlas.
Card Design
Deck Design Rather than having one deck for all fifty states, instead there is a different deck for each part of the country. In this example, I have used 7 western states - California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. The deck consists of four (4) cards for each state, two picture cards and two name cards. This was done so that more than one person may have a match. In this example there would be 28 cards.
Design Process Once the instructional problem was determined, the design process went very smoothly. At first I considered using all 50 states for the game. After thinking about it for a couple of minutes, I realized that meant there would have to be a minimum of 100 cards in the deck (one picture card and one name card). So quickly I decided we'd have to break the country into smaller sections. It seemed convenient to divide the country roughly by time zones.
The next decision to be made was what should be on the cards. A fellow student suggested that I include a picture of the whole area of the country being covered, because many states are very hard to identify by shape alone. So I included a map of each region with the state filled in gray. This led to another problem. With such a large picture of the region, you couldn't see it while holding a hand full of cards. To solve this problem, I included a small picture of the state in the upper left corner of the picture cards. The name cards presented a similar problem, which was solved by putting the state's two letter abbreviation in the corners of the card.
I wanted to have more than one level of difficulty for the game. So I came up with three different versions: a very simple slow version, so students could play the game while they were just beginning to learn the states, and two more challenging versions for students who had more of the states memorized.
Overall, I am happy with the way the game turned out. I wish I had the chance to test it with some kids, but time did not allow.
Happy Games!

Usually, she's fast asleep so I've got free reign over the television as I wind down after work. However, with my bride fully engaged in swimming and gymnastics my hopes of getting to watch a program recorded by my DVR — one that would have been very inspirational and educational I'm sure — were quickly dashed.
Upon seeing my frustration, my wife didn't waste any ammunition. She went straight for the kill shot, firing off at me with "You are not patriotic." Because obviously my apathy over women's gymnastics and a myriad of swimming events makes me unpatriotic.
I pointed out that I do work in a newsroom and get up-to-the-minute results on sporting events from across the world, year round and certainly during the Olympics. So watching a swimming event boasting a field of dudes I've never heard of where I learned the result eight hours ago, is not the most appealing way to spend my time.
Our domestic disagreement over television viewing rights got me thinking. I've long heard that the Olympics are catered to female viewers. There are more personal interest pieces. Story lines that invoke emotion are stressed. You know, stuff women buy into.
Ultimately, I began to ask myself, fellow men are you watching this stuff? Are you watching rowing and skeet shooting and getting your swimming and gymnastics fix at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday night when the Giants (or your favorite MLB team if you've got the Extra Innings Package) are in the thick of a playoff race and filling up a channel just a few digits down the dial?
I know I was watching the Dodgers trying to stay in a tie with the Giants atop the NL West Division. That seemed a little more entertaining than watching a few girls dancing on a balance beam. And did you notice how most of the female gymnasts are just teenagers? Is this the Olympics or the Junior Olympics?
If my guess is right, that many men are tuning into an MLB game or SportsCenter, and not the Olympics, than I guess we'll have to live with being less than patriotic for two weeks. American women can handle waiving the Red, White and Blue for a fortnight.
I do admit I'll watch more Olympic coverage when the track & field gets going. The tracksters just seem more to me like athletes than ping pong standouts or the badminton contenders. And yet there is still room for those sports in the Olympics. They just aren't my cup of tea.
When my wife first called me unpatriotic for not watching the Olympics, she put me on the defensive. I didn't have a chance to formulate my response. All I had to answer was 'I'll watch the basketball.' Apparently, that didn't rate very high in her book because she came back with the 'Oh how big of you.'
C'mon cheering on Team USA basketball is patriotic isn't it?
In 2008, the gold medal game between the USA and Spain was on at midnight on the final day of the games. I stayed up late and watched the whole game, until 2 a.m. That should earn me some patriotic points. It's the only time I've cheered for Kobe Bryant in my life. And he was clutch, making some huge jumpers late in the second half of that win over the Spaniards.
My wife and the rest of you can say my American pride is not up to snuff if you want, but I'm going to watch the events I like and watch something else the rest of the time. I'm not an Olympic sap that will just watch whatever NBC cares to show me eight hours after its conclusion.

I'll tell you that right after I drop some brown stuff over you! I am a guy of contradictions. Hates Texas, but loves the 'Boys. Hates New England but likes the Red Sox. Hates Nebraska, but.... o'well, you get the point. I jump when no one tells me to. I kick when people tell me to jump. I will jump and kick you arse if you try to be the wise guy with me.
Wise guy, ha?
I am the guy in the middle. I am the one on the left when everyone sways to the right. On the right when it's popular to be a hippy. I dislike politicians so give it to me the way you mean it to be. Those ribs can take a lot of punches. Just try me, tough stuff.
Tough guy, ha?I am a man who dislikes disappointments so much that I can never cheer for a team that denied me the cheers of success. Been like that since the age of 5 and i don't think it'll change. If you want my professional chit list, just drop me a line. I won't disappoint you.

I am a south Floridian and am pissed at San Antonio for pissing away Game 6. The Heat deserve the championship, the fair weather fans of the Miami Heat, who leave early during a damned playoff game do not. Maybe next year, boys. GSG
Spurs' Tim Duncan says Finals Game 7 loss to Heat will 'haunt' him
MIAMI — A forlorn Tim Duncan struggled to find the words after the Spurs fell to the Heat 95-88 in Game 7 on Thursday, marking the first Finals defeat of his illustrious career.
Although San Antonio came within 5.2 seconds of capturing Duncan's fifth championship in Game 6, the 14-time All-Star said that the Spurs' Game 7 defeat will be the one that sticks with him.
"Game 7, missing a lay-up to tie the game, making a bad decision down the stretch," he said. "Just unable to stop Dwyane [Wade] and LeBron [James]. Probably, for me, Game 7 is always going to haunt me."
With Miami leading 90-88 with just one minute remaining, Duncan missed a hook shot deep in the paint and then was unable to convert point-blank tip-in that would have tied the game.
The Spurs did not score the rest of the way, as James nailed a jumper before the Heat hit three free throws to seal their third title in franchise history. James finished with a game-high 37 points, 12 rebounds and four assists; Wade added 23 points and 10 rebounds.
"The obvious word is 'disappointing'," Duncan said. "Tough end to the game. Made some bad decisions. Missed some shots. I don't know what to say. Just give credit to the Miami Heat. LeBron was unbelievable. Dwyane was great."
Manu Ginobili called San Antonio's Game 6 loss "devastating" after the Spurs gave up a five-point lead in the final 30 seconds before losing in overtime.
Duncan indicated after the game that he planned to return for the 2013-14 season rather than retire.
I see comments saying game 6 (and maybe game 7) will haunt the Spurs and their fans for the rest of their lives. True that game 6 was in their grasp and it was a devastating loss. But to haunt them for the rest of their lives? Come on, the Spurs have FOUR titles already. I would understand if it was some team that NEVER won a title, then it would for sure haunt them for the rest of their lives. But the Spurs have 4 rings they can look at to console themselves.
What I want to know is - did TP explain himself last night? He wasn't aggressive at all. He took 1 jump shot. Had about 2-3 drives all game when he normally had 50. WTF happened? He said he was gonna win one for Timmy and he quit in the last game.
If he told the truth, it was Game 6 that he will remember. And his teammates f*** ups. Specificaly ginobili. Duncan played his heart out and willed them to a victory. Pops, Ginobili, and Green managed to pull it out from under him.
Really. The Spurs lost the series when they lost game 6. They should have won that one, and threw it up. Not just one player, but collectively as a team.
First, hope that Duncan doesn't feel bad as long as he thinks he will. As a Net fan, it's been an amazing run Tim has had and he deserves a ton of respect. He is a great player, leader and a good man.
Not to be sour because this series was close enough to go either way, but I felt the refs muffed the end of Game 6 and that cost the Spurs the game.
Won't make more of it then that but feel bad for Tim Duncan, one of the best players of his generation and an outstanding consistent player through many a year. He has more left in the tank, that's clear.
He was a great player, but it's time for him to realize he is on the downhill side of his career. This is Lebron and the Big 3 time. So long as they are in Miami, everyone else is playing for second.
It kills me to see Timmy so down. I'm absolutely heartsick right now for the Spurs and their fans, and yes, I am one. This loss stings like no other. Worse than .4; worse than the D. Nowitzki foul; worse than my hangover today from mourning the loss. (Okay, maybe that was extreme). A rebound here, a free-throw here, and this entire city would be swimmin in champagne. But, alas... it was simply not to be. And yes, it will haunt for life. Simply because it was right there for the taking, and the stars never looked more aligned.
That being said....I've got nothing but love for my team. I'm very, very proud of their season. They didn't fold and get blown-out in a Game 7 after that agonizing loss. They were in it til the bitter end. San Antonio wins, and loses, with dignity, and that is why I'll be a Silver and Black diehard for life.
Congrats to the Heat, this was a great (albeit painful) series.
Curses to Sports Illustrated for putting the Spurs on the cover a week prior to the Finals - jinx!! (I say that in jest).
And to all the fellow heartbroken fans out there with me, one last chant for Go Spurs Go.
See you all next year.... - M*
Perhaps if either Duncan or Ginobli had called a time out instead of throwing the ball away in the final minute the results would have been different. This win goes to Stern's script, the Heat's HGH, and Pop pulling his best players from the floor at the start of the 4th/key moments down the stretch. What a joke.
I'm a fan of neither team particularly, but it's too bad there had to be a 'loser' in this one, one of the better Finals we've seen in a while. Timmy had a heck of a series for a guy nearing 38, and nobody could stop Tony Parker. Manu began to show his years towards the end there, and might only play another year.Green, Splitter and the rest will need to really work next season if they want another ring before the Spur's 'big 3' retire. There's probably one more championship in that core group, and 2014 will be about it for them. Tim is going to run that last jump hook around in his head for a week or two and Ginobili will too, on that pass intercepted by James. If Westbrook is back in form, and the Lakers figure out what they're doing and Kobe is healthy, it may be tougher for the Spurs to get back to the Finals, but we'll see. Let's have a fun Summer first. See you in October..
Season ticket holders for the rest of the teams in the league should file a class action lawsuit against the NBA for their failure to strictly enforce their drug policy. HGH is known to have the side effect of enlarging the jaw, exactly in the manner that DWade's jaw is enlarged. Yet the league does all it can to avoid testing and won't even broach the subject because DWade and Lebron are cash cows. Their win at any price mentality costs other teams untold victories and revenues.
Don't worry, Tim, you won't be alone. There are legions of us, mourning the loss with y'all.
Go Spurs Go, my man.
Duncan has nothing to be ashamed of--the Heat simply had too much talent. Miller, Allen and Battier gave them many options for a scorer off the bench and the Spurs other than Duncan and Leonard did very little in games 6 and 7.
Sports fans--egged on by the clowns on ESPN, perceive far too big a gap between the winners and the losers of tight games and series.
No matter how many championships they've won, these guys are competitors, and always want that next one. I was actually pulling for the Heat, but it's tough to see such a great player, and person for that matter, so down. I hope that Duncan gets over it, and realizes that this first finals loss has done nothing to tarnish his extraordinary career.
This was one of the most exciting finals in a long time. Duncan has no reason to let the last game haunt him, he did more than his share and then some. This was like witnessing a boxing match between two heavy weight champs, one just starting and one coming to an end. Duncan will be in the HOF along with James someday, and for many years to come, highlights of this series will be talked about and replayed.
no, it's not game 7. it's the game 6 that the spurs lost control of the series.
Next year timmy
You will always be one of the high best Tim. You've proven time and again what you've got and no one would dare forget that.
You're wayyyy to good to be haunted. Too many great years and championships to allow this to affect you. Great season, great Finals. Thank you for what you represent.
-The Fans
class act. Always will be.
Shut your stupid face. The Heatles were one loose ball away from getting their as sent home. Your team lost that game and you know it. Leonard grabs that first rebound and it is over. Ball comes loose off his fingertips to Miller to another chuck by the queen.
You can NOT be serious! With OKC stars and Derrick Rose coming back for Chicago, lets not even bring up Indy...this is the easiest the playoffs get for Miami. Wade is on the downhill side of his career, Lebron is alone since the Heat are gonna trade that overrated Bosh (and we know from his days in Cleveland, that he is not good enough by himself)
I disagree. The Spurs were thirty seconds away from winning the title in game six and Duncan missed two easy shots to tie game seven with a minute left. The Heat are not that much better than the next few top-tier teams. Home court advantage probably decided Miami's wins in the seventh game versus both Indiana and San Antonio. Chicago will have Derrick Rose returning and Oklahoma City gets Westbrook back. With players like Kawhi Leonard showing drastic improvement and possibly through the draft, San Antonio will still be there. Every season is different and no one can truly predict what's going to happen. Miami deserves to be the favorite but don't hand them the trophy just yet.
It's hard to say congratulations to asholes. Heat fans almost rival Laker fans as creeps. Turning on the refs every game for not playing well enough for them.
You mean "could have been different"
@ScottHoward Quite a list of conspiracies, alibis, and excuses. Get that paranoia checked. Soon.
@Belpacenderlpa Erm... if the Heat are doing it, every team is doing it. Guaranteed. Your argument is silly
Yeah, America lost last night. 66% of America was rooting for the Spurs. No one likes those arrogant, egotistical plicks.
No chance. Robinson got his second because of Timmy. Timmy needs another Timmy to win it with him. Not a bunch of guys who play superb until the last 2 games.
Would have. There is no "could about it. Zero question that if a certain loose ball in Leonard's hands stays in his hands, it is game over. Up 5 pts + 2 Leonard ft's with 28 seconds left.
Two of my friends who've never once showed an interest in bball called expressing how pissed off they were at the outcome.

Gaborik's hat trick lifts Rangers over Bruins

NEW YORK (AP) — If the New York Rangers' new top line is going to produce like this, it might not make any difference if the rest of the offense is a bit unbalanced.
Marian Gaborik scored twice 2:13 apart in the first period and then completed his 14th NHL hat trick 27 seconds into overtime as the Rangers overcame a pair of blown leads and beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on Wednesday night for their first win of the season.

this is my first child and i am very nervous. i have a lot of help from my family and finace but my family live three hours away so its just me and my finace but at times being up here i feel so alone because i have only been here two months and really have no friends to hang out with even though he trys its not the same i need girl time. is there anyway for me to get past this feeling?
Im beginning to feel the same way only my family is close. Alone isnt even the word sometimes I just feel like its me and my baby (which it is) . I dont mind my space but after being a sort of party girl now a mother is a bit of a change. For me to enjoy myself now I work and interact with my fellow employees. Also activities such as going to the park , cooking , talking on the phone, looking through the web at baby stuff has been keeping my time . Now my boyfriend is the one calling me trying to figure out what i am doing because Im not bugging him as much . Try to stay busy no matter what thats my advice =)
First of all congratulations on your pregnancy. It is natural to want to have friends and family nearby to share it with. During this time, try your best to reach out and make new friends in your area. Consider joining a prenatal group or a new mothers group. There are plenty around...if you are uncertain where to look consider ask your doctor for help. Consider also taking a community class or volunteering somewhere in order to meet people who have similar interests. If you like cooking, take a small cooking class...etc.. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Congrats on your first child. Is the baby already born? Did or are you having a girl or boy? I can certainly understand your feeling lonely. :( You can come here anytime you are needing support. We are always happy to listen and offer support and guidance if needed. One thought that I have is to plan one thing out of the house each day. It doesn't have to be anything special, but planning a trip to the store, window shopping at the mall, walking in the park or even reading in a coffee shop can help with being lonely. I also would encourage you to reach out to your friends that are a few hours away. Is there anyway you could plan a visit every week where one week they come to visit you, you visit them the next-or even meet somewhere 1/2 way in between.
I hope the suggestions help a bit. Keep us posted on how you are doing!
i havent been feeling like this until two weeks ago and it just like hit me fast. I work full time but at my job its so hard to talk to anyone or make friends because i am so busy we all dont really get to talk to each other. I was the same way i was a party girl and than we just stop going out and really i had no problem with that but i think its hard for him. i think i might take on a preject and rearrange my apartment that might help me
I always try to like go to the movies with some on the employees i work with but they all want to go to the bars and party but i just dont like to do that anymore if anything i like to go dancing. its just hard cause no one wants to hanging out with a pregnant girl. i never knew they had classes i am really going to look into that cause that really might helo me alot. :)
thank you and no i am 13 weeks today and i will find out what i am having august 28 :) i try to always go and visit my family but its just hard driving three hours all the time. i am not a big fan of driving lol. i am starting to feel better about being lonely cause he has been trying to take me to do things or he will bring movies home but i think its just i miss seeing my family even thought i talk to my mom everyday it just makes it hard. but i am glad i found this website that way i am able to talk to other people about it, it really helps me.
Glad you found some help here! Some of the best friends you will make after you have your child are other mothers who find themselves in the same boat as you - having children is a blessing and one of the most wonderful experiences of your life but you often need to be able to share/discuss your experiences with other moms. Talk to the people at the hospital where you deliver about mommy support groups. Lots of churches have good mommy support groups as well or your local community center. Hang in there - I know how hard it is when you go to a new place and you don't really know anyone but nothing bonds people like having children. Good luck!
I know how you feel, this is our first baby as well and all of my family in 4 hours away. Im 28 weeks pregnant and I talk to my mom eveyday, we send each other pictures and it helps a bit and my little sister is always taking pictures and sending them to me. I promise it will feel better soon. My husband and I go on dates so I can get out of the house and we are planning a trip to go visit my mom and she is throwing a baby shower for me.
I was away from home - 3000 miles away - with my first. I remember how difficult it was at times. Skype, text messages, and phone calls are all great coping mechanisms. :-) Hang in there - I'm pregnant with my second and our circumstances have changed. I now live 5 minutes away from my family! You never know what will happen. :-)
It sounds like you have tried a lot of my suggestions. It also sounds like you are at a bit of a turning point in your life. You are entering an age where, you are right bars and drinking, don't quite work. It's hard to be "older" than some of your friends that are the same age. I think that once your baby is born though perhaps you can find a play group so you can meet other women in the same stage of life that you are. I have some friends that are dealing with the same transition and as their babies grow they make more friends through pre-school, sunday school, sports, art camps that their kiddos are at. Hang in there and come here as much as you want to. We are always here to support you!
-Jess :)

Cost and lack of demand. It doesn't make economic sense to create a production line for an item with few sales.
When I moved to my current home almost 20 years ago I converted the 1st floor 1/2 bath/laundry to a full bath and installed a 36" domed shower enclosure. In all these years I have been very pleased with this enclosure--keeps heat & steam in, easy to clean, never leaks, no paint or tile needed, no cracked/peeling/mildewed ceiling paint. Well now I have a summer cottage and want to install the same thing there but nobody carries them anymore. Ultra-rare/special order. What happened to this great idea?

Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I have not seen one before but I have seen many full shower tub enclosures sold.
Have you tried calling the plumbing wholesalers in your town. Most have access to full product lines and often these types of units just take 1-4 weeks to ship to your town.
email@example.com - www-no-curb.com - 604 506 6792
Always get construction advice double checked by your local city hall. Flood Test Every Shower - Every Time.
Oh I can definitely get one but what should be a $400 item is an $800 (probably more) special order.
I'll be shopping Craigslist for this now but was just wondering what the story was.
Romeo and Atlanta, MI
What does a domed shower look like? I have never heard of one!
Searching, they seem to be popular in NZ and Australia.
Nice idea.
Noooooo....just a regular shower enclosure but the sides continue over the top. Ends up looking like a tub standing on end.
Wish I could take a picture of mine but I can't get far enough away from it to compose a decent shot.
The sci-fi looking one posted would do the job but you can't frame that into an alcove like the old type.

The Clark's Collection of French Masterworks Opens at the Royal Academy of Arts in London
For Immediate Release
July 11, 2012
From Paris, A Taste for Impressionism: Paintings from the Clark
July 7, 2012–September 23, 2012
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA–The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's international tour of masterpieces from its collection of nineteenth-century European paintings opened at the Royal Academy of the Arts in London on July 7, 2012. From Paris, A Taste for Impressionism: Paintings from the Clark continues the Clark's commitment to global outreach and cultural exchange.
Open to the public from July 7 through September 23, 2012, the exhibition features 72 paintings, including works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, and Camille Pissarro, as well as by Pierre Bonnard, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Paul Gauguin, Jean-François Millet, Alfred Sisley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and Jean-Léon Gérôme.
The Clark's international tour comes to the Royal Academy from its only U.S. venue, the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, where it garnered critical praise. Since the tour began in October 2010, the Clark's collection has been seen by more than a million visitors worldwide.
"We are so pleased to bring the Clark's collection of French paintings to London," said Michael Conforti, director. "The Clark is delighted to have this unprecedented opportunity to share some of its best-known and most beloved works with a broader global audience. It is our hope that this exhibition of the best of the Clark's famous nineteenth-century painting collection will encourage the cross-cultural exchange of new ideas and the discovery of common ground, paving the way to greater mutual understanding and cooperation through the arts," said Conforti.
The timing of the international tour coincides with the Clark's launch of the next phase of its campus expansion program and presents an ideal opportunity to share these works with a worldwide audience.
Accompanying the exhibition is the catalogue Great French Paintings from the Clark, published by Skira Rizzoli with editions in five languages. The 240-page publication, available in hardcover, features 131 color illustrations accompanied by essays by James A. Ganz and Richard R. Brettell.
Tour Schedule (to date):
- From Paris, A Taste of Impressionism: Paintings from The Clark, Royal Academy of Arts, London, England, July 7–September 23, 2012
- A History of Impressionism. Great French Paintings from the Clark, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal, Canada, October 8, 2012–January 20, 2013
- Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Tokyo, Japan, February 9–May 26, 2013
- Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, Kobe, Japan, June 8–September 1, 2013
An additional venue in Shanghai, China will be announced later this year.
The Clark Collection
Sterling and Francine Clark acquired most of the paintings that form the basis of the Clark's collection. From the 1910s until the 1950s, the Clarks assembled an outstanding collection of European and American paintings, sculpture, and drawings, as well as British silver and European porcelain. The Clark is best known for its collection of French Impressionist paintings, including more than 30 works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, which take their place within a wider ensemble of masterworks that date from the Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century. Although the collection has expanded greatly since the opening of the Clark in 1955, including a growing collection of early photography, the scope and character continues to represent the taste and interests of the founders.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute
The Clark is one of the few major art museums that also serves as a leading international center for research and scholarship. The Clark presents public and education programs and organizes groundbreaking exhibitions that advance new scholarship, and its research and academic programs include an international fellowship program and conferences. Its 140-acre campus in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts includes Stone Hill Center, designed by Tadao Ando and opened in 2008, which houses galleries, meeting and classroom facilities, and the Williamstown Art Conservation Center. The Clark, together with Williams College, America's foremost liberal arts college, sponsors one of the nation's leading master's programs in art history.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open daily in July and August (open Tuesday through Sunday from September through June), 10 am to 5 pm. Admission is $15 June 1 through October 31; free November through May; and free year-round for Clark members, children 18 and younger, and students with valid ID. For more information, visit clarkart.edu or call 413 458 2303.

This is the time of field trips and demonstration projects and plays and concerts and recitals that show off what we have learned this year.

Electricity isn't free
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's plan to build hundreds of charging stations for electric cars surely will benefit a small number of commuters, and may drive sales of battery-powered vehicles. Still, the program is hobbled by the limitations of these cars and the state's insistence on giving EV owners free electricity.
DEEP and Department of Transportation officials gathered at Middlesex College in Middletown on Tuesday to introduce the $200,000 program, which they say will add 200 charging stations statewide at public buildings and shopping centers. They hope to diminish the "range anxiety" that discourages many drivers from owning a car that will roll to a halt after just 60 to 80 miles if no recharging station is available.

Meet the crew, settle in, and relax with your shipmates. Within minutes you'll be cruising the scenic channels of the Inside Passage.
One of America's crown jewel national parks is yours to explore and marvel at for the next three days—Glacier Bay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve. A National Park Ranger joins you to explore coves and corners of the bay that most visitors miss. Tidewater glaciers sweep like rivers of ice down massive mountain valleys, terminating before you in the waters of Glacier Bay.
Paddle a kayak and be awed at the face of a massive glacier. Go on a boot-sucking trek through sandbars and rainforest. And ride a skiff along shore for an up-close exploration of Glacier Bay. You'll find sea lions, mountain goats, sea otters, bears, moose, eagles, and spectacular scenic backdrops. Linger near South Marble Island to spot the many species of rare sea birds that call this area home. Keep your eyes on the water and the island for brightly-colored puffins and Black Oystercatchers. Stop in Bartlett Cove for a visit to the Park Service's Headquarters.
Set your course for arguably the richest whale waters in Southeast Alaska. Join the Captain on the bridge or the Expedition Leader out on deck in search of marine mammals. Camera in hand, begin your land and sea exploration of these remote reaches. Ride the skiffs for a closer inspection of the rugged and wild coastline with eyes set on the shore for possible bear sightings.
Meander along the spectacular waterfall coast of Chichagof Island. In the Un-Cruise expedition spirit, marvel at the grand scenery as our crew expertly guides you through unsung, glacier-carved fjords. Anchor in remote waters for an opportunity to lower the kayaks and skiffs. Explore the shoreline on an intertidal walk or forest exploration with your guides.
Peril Strait runs 50 miles from Chatham Strait to Salisbury Sound. This haven for small boats is scenically highlighted by a very narrow connecting passageway called Sergius Narrows and an opening at Hoonah Sound. This historic and wildlife-rich waterway is a great place to watch the shoreline for bears, the waters for otters and whales, and to look skyward for eagles. The passage narrows to only 300 feet in one spot (24 feet deep). After an adventurous, but "un-perilous" day, toast your voyage with a festive Farewell Dinner and a "photo journal" of your trip presented by your Expedition Leaders.
Gather for breakfast this morning as you cruise into Russian-influenced Sitka for disembarkation. Transfer to the airport or begin an extended land tour.

Proctor, MN
The big broom was out Sunday night at the Proctor Speedway as four of five
divisions saw clean sweeps. Ryan Aho from Chisholm had the measure of the
WISSOTA Modified division as he won the heat and led all the way in the 15 lap
feature. The event went flag to flag without a caution flag as Aho had a big lead by
the time Darrell Nelson shook free of the pack. Nelson made up ground but not
enough to reel in Aho who stayed the course for the dominant win. Jody
Bellefeuille finished third, E. J. Hietala fourth and Scott Heikkinen was fifth.
It was 20 laps for the WISSOTA Super Stocks and Donnie Lofdahl of Proctor
fended off all challenges to win the feature on his hometown track. Seven caution
flags kept the challengers close to Lofdahl after his initial lead was erased with the
first one. After the fourth slowdown Lofdahl went high in turn one on the restart
and Mike Bellefeuille and Scott Lawrence got by leaving him third but Lofdahl's
luck held out and before a lap could be completed Ashley Smith spun in turn four.

High court looks at death row inmate with low IQ
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court in 2002 barred the execution of mentally disabled inmates.
But until now, the court has left it up to the states to determine who is mentally disabled.
A new case is testing whether states can rely solely on the result of an intelligence test to conclude a death row inmate isn't mentally disabled — and therefore eligible to be executed — despite other evidence of mental deficits.
In arguments Monday, a Florida inmate is challenging that state's use of a rigid IQ cutoff to determine mental disability.
Florida is among the few states that use a threshold score of 70, as measured by IQ tests, to conclude an inmate is not mentally disabled, even if other evidence indicates he is.
High court climate case looks at EPA's power
WASHINGTON (AP) — Industry groups and Republican-led states are leading an attack at the Supreme Court against the Obama administration's sole means of trying to limit power-plant and factory emissions of gases blamed for global warming.
The court is hearing arguments Monday about a small but important piece of the Environmental Protection Agency's plans to cut the emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases. At issue is a requirement that companies expanding industrial facilities or building new ones that would increase overall pollution must also evaluate ways to reduce the carbon they release.
As President Barack Obama is pledging to act on environmental and other matters when Congress doesn't, or won't, opponents of the regulation cast it as a power grab of historic proportions.
Missouri Supreme Court: archdiocese must release names
UPDATE: Missouri executes Smulls
Stay of execution issued for Missouri killer Smulls
It's unclear when or if Missouri death row inmate Herbert Smulls will be executed.
The U.S. Supreme Court has granted him a stay of execution. Justice Samuel Alito signed the order and it was sent out Tuesday night, just hours before Smulls midnight execution date.
The 56 year old was convicted of killing a St. Louis County jeweler and badly injuring his wife during a 1991 robbery. His juvenile accomplice, now 37, is serving a life sentence.
Smulls' lawyer says the stay is temporary while the high court reviews the case. She had made last-minute pleas to spare Smulls' life, focusing on Smulls "due process" rights, since he still has appeals pending that challenge Missouri's execution method. Attorney Cheryl Pilate is arguing that Missouri's refusal to disclose the name of the compounding pharmacy that makes the pentobarbitol used in executions makes it impossible for Smulls' advocates to know whether it could cause pain and suffering.
Earlier on Tuesday, Pilate revealed the name of the company she believes is making the drug. She told The Associated Press that her research indicates the drug is made by The Apothecary Shoppe, based in Tulsa, Okla. She says an Oklahoma City-based lab tested the drug.
Court debates union fees for nonunion workers
Missouri Supreme Court denies survivor benefits to fallen trooper's partner
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled against a Highway Patrol trooper's same-sex partner who sought survivor benefits.
Patrol Cpl. Dennis Engelhard died in December 2009 when he was struck by a vehicle while investigating an accident on Interstate 44 in Eureka.
Missouri law entitles surviving spouses of Highway Patrol officers killed in the line of duty to an annuity. Engelhard's partner, Kelly Glossip, did not receive the benefit.
In a 5-2 ruling Tuesday, the Supreme Court said Glossip was denied benefits because he and Engelhard were not married - not because of his sexual orientation.
The court noted that Glossip had not challenged Missouri's prohibition of same-sex marriage.
Bakery tax dispute heads to Missouri high court
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court this week is considering taxes for baking doughnuts and cookies.
Ameren Missouri sought a tax refund on behalf of Schnuck Markets Inc. for energy used by the grocery store's bakeries. The company points to a tax exemption for energy used in manufacturing, processing, compounding, mining or producing, and a Department of Revenue regulation with examples of what is considered "processing" that deals with bakeries.
However, the state is not buying what they're cooking. The deputy solicitor says the tax exemption is aimed at producing products in industrial plants and facilities.
The Missouri Supreme Court ruled in a March 2012 decision a convenience store could not claim a tax exemption for energy used to prepare food. The court concluded food preparation for retail consumption is not "processing."
MO Supreme Court to consider school transfer case in Kansas
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Supreme Court again is considering a court challenge to a law permitting students to transfer from unaccredited school districts to other districts nearby.
The court upheld the law earlier in a case from the St. Louis area. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court's focus turned to Kansas City, which has been unaccredited since 2012.
Taxpayers from five surrounding districts filed suit and contend the transfer law is an unfunded mandate violating the Missouri Constitution.
A Jackson County judge ruled in favor of the Independence, Lee's Summit and North Kansas City plaintiffs but rejected the argument for Blue Springs and Raytown. The state and some plaintiffs appealed.
Transfers from Kansas City schools have been on hold, but student transfers have caused acrimony in the St. Louis area.
Missouri Supreme Court sides with governor on budget battle
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Gov. Jay Nixon in a budget battle with State Auditor Tom Schweich.
The court ruled Tuesday that Schweich did not have legal standing to challenge about $170 million of spending cuts announced by Nixon in June 2011.
The cuts to education and other services were based partly on the expectation that Missouri would incur millions of dollars of unbudgeted costs from a deadly tornado that hit Joplin a month earlier. As it turns out, the Joplin costs came in lower than expected.
The Supreme Court said Schweich's challenge to the governor's budget-cutting authority amounted to a pre-audit of state spending. The court says the auditor does not have such powers.
